I'm not too sure if this site has the right forum system, but on other forums that I have looked on they have a percentage warning system which lets users know if they are breaking the rules or heading towards a temp ban or a ban or removel to the OV section.

Could this system be used for Stormfront? A percentage warning system based on the number of reports made against that person and a quick explanation why they are having reports made against them?

I personally find it unfair that members who have been here for a long time can instantly be banned for something said during a heated argument or discussion without warning or a reason from the mods.

Like I said I'm not sure if this forum has the right system tools for this to be made a feature but I believe if done correctly it could lead to a better system than the current one.

I hope members and the Stormfront team find this as a useful idea and open up a genuine discussion on the subject of bans and temp bans and removel to the OV section.

Kind regards,
J

I thought there was some type of warning system in place, perhaps not as sophisticated as you describe.

I don't think anyone gets blindsided by these situations. Some people like to be confrontational and appear to want to push it to the bitter end. Some people I liked went that route. Wish they hadn't, but they didn't ask for my advice.

First, reported posts are reviewed to determine if they are actionable or not. If they are and a warning or infraction is issued, the system requires a PM to the user, SO they are *quite* aware of the action. No member is ever blindsided, contrary to rumour or accusation.

There are times when deliberately flaming someone is absolutely necessary, there are times when cuss words are justifiable and there are times when spelling errors are there to demonstrate some point. These things should be used as little as possible but some people need a sharp correction because that is sometimes the only way to get through to some of the more bullheaded around here. Sometimes I see absurd posts on here that deserve nothing more than intelligently written flame. With just enough .25 cent words mixed in with just a few four cent words to make 2 cents worth of correction on the behalf of thick headed, arrogant and obnoxious.

If people can't read the simple rules and follow them, than they get what they deserve.

We're looking to streamline the work the mods have to do instead of adding to it. They are overworked volunteers who give of their own time. They do not need us making more work for them...

No one here is banned unfairly, and unless they clearly and purposefully break the rules, like by spamming or posting porn, They get plenty of warning, not only from mods but from their peers too.

If a similar manner of advanced notice could be applied to threads, it would be good. Too often do I go to my User CP at the end of my day, and find that a productive and interesting thread has simply been disappeared, with no warning or explanation, by some anonymous higher power.

I understand that it can be frustrating, but it's impractical to notify all those who have posted on a thread that it has been deleted. There are different parameters for thread closure and thread deletion. If the thread is gone, it's gone for good reason.

Normally, when I close a thread, I add a brief comment as to why. You have no idea the crapstorms via PM I've had to endure because of it; however, I'm willing to do so for a few reasons: it allows the posters to be aware of the closure (as you suggested), it allows the readers to understand the parameters for thread closure a little better; it allows the poster(s) who caused the thread closure to better understand what is acceptable (although, I must say often they don't really care to adjust their style/habit).

Thank you for posting this information Sile, I didn't know that since I don't think I've had a report posted.
